Post date August 15, 2019

It’s all about the seasons and observable changes caused by our Earth, Sun & Moon! Kinder – ES1 Year 1 – S1 Year 2 – S1 Earth and Space How does Earth’s tilt affect the seasons? Why is the Earth tilted anyway?
How do daily changes affect the environment?
Why is daylight a different length in summer vs. winter?
How do clouds form and how do we measure the weather?
Why do some clouds spin?

All this and more is covered in this online science program where students can explore these topics in detail. Students will gain an appreciation of how the world we experience is influenced by the seasons & daily cycles.

Exploring Energy

Post author By [email protected]
Post date July 4, 2019

A workshop all about the fundamental concept of energy. How does energy transform and move? Year 3 – S2 Year 4 – S2 Year 5 – S3 Year 6 – S3 Exploring Energy Learn about how energy conversions happen in objects all around us in this engaging school science workshop.
Investigate energy types such as gravity, heat, light, sound, magnetism, electrical, chemical, potential and kinetic being used in toys and simple science apparatus.
Each learning station is designed so that students can identify how the energy can be traced back to the Sun.
Students will gain an understanding of how the Law of Conservation of Energy applies in every situation and how to identify energy entering and leaving a system.

Online PD for Science in the Classroom

Post author By [email protected]
Post date November 20, 2018

Discover how to run simple science experiments in the primary classroom using easy to get materials. Teacher Online PD for Science in the Classroom Learn how to identify variables in a variety of hands-on simple experiments that you can use straight away in your classroom. You will actively participate in hands-on experiments in real-time with us, this is not a PowerPoint presentation or a series of videos.

During this session, your teachers will learn about how to turn materials available in the local supermarket into engaging and worthwhile classroom experiments. These experiments have been classroom-tested and have shown to be highly effective in increasing student understanding. All materials presented have direct syllabus links to both the ACARA and NSW K to 10 Science Syllabus.

For Proficient Teachers

Teach science aligned to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers

2.1.2 Proficient Level – Apply knowledge of the content and teaching strategies of the teaching area to develop engaging teaching activities.
6.2.2 Proficient Level – Participate in learning to update knowledge and practice, targeted to professional needs and school and/or system priorities.

Use this course to attribute teacher identified professional development hours to maintain accreditation.

We find that schools find this easy to schedule this event as part of a staff meeting.
